To clear an Activation Lock, you will need the password of the associated Apple ID, or the original purchase receipt and matching photo ID and a discussion with Apple Support.


If this device was recently purchased and the seller is still available, contact the seller for remediation or for refund.


A remote unlock using iCloud is available to the person with the Apple ID holding an Activation Lock, if they’re inclined to unlock this device.

Activation Lock is a theft deterrent mechanism. A theft deterrent that is easy to bypass would not be much of a deterrent.


No, nobody here in the Apple discussion forums can help you clear Activation Lock.


Only the person holding the credentials to the Apple ID associated with the Activation Lock, or Apple, can clear this lock.


For Apple to clear the lock, you will have to provide a receipt with proof of original purchase and with matching serial number, and provide matching personal identification, or similar materials.


And as purchasing devices with Activation Lock enabled is far too common, also see the following:
